i. Biography
Giovanni Naviglia works from a clear regional frame: Venetian cuisine, trained discipline, and a current base in Turin at Spirito Osteria Urbana since 2025.
The Path
At ALMA, Giovanni Naviglia built the foundation that the rest of his practice is measured against. The emphasis here is on precision and control rather than display, with the training serving as the structural base for a career that has been described through discipline and focus. Instead of a scattered route, the shape of the path is tight and intentional, with specialty and schooling reinforcing one another. That same structure carries into his current positions. As chef at Spirito Osteria Urbana since 2025 and chef at Alla Pasina, Giovanni Naviglia moves between two addresses with a consistent contemporary voice. The work is active rather than retrospective, and the two roles together show a practice organized around steady execution and a clear professional center.
The Work Today
Since 2025, Giovanni Naviglia has guided the kitchen at Spirito Osteria Urbana in Turin, Italy. That combination keeps the cooking legible: rooted in a tradition, but carried in the present tense. At Spirito Osteria Urbana, the kitchen leadership is the main expression of his work now. Paired with his role at Alla Pasina, it shows a chef working across two posts without losing clarity of identity. The result is a practice shaped by movement, attention, and a consistent regional reference point.
Acclaim
The clearest marker in Giovanni Naviglia’s profile is the 2025 appointment at Spirito Osteria Urbana. It establishes the current shape of his career: an ALMA-trained chef, working in Turin, and carrying Venetian cuisine into two active kitchen roles with a controlled, contemporary register.
